"Pipin is a year-and-a-half old," she said. "He is excitable and happy. He has the best qualities you could want in a dog."

Brescia was on her way home from college with Pippin when she was struck by another car on I-95.

"He was down in the bottom, down there. And he ran out through my door," said Brescia. "He was just so scared, he didn't know what was happening. there was glass that came down all over him."

Brescia said she feels guilty Pippin was at the bottom of the front seat.

"If I had just put in a crate, he would have been scared but he would have been safe," she said.

Brescia's friends and family are searching the woods along I-95. If you see Pippin, make note of the closest mile marker and call authorities at 863-632-0696.
